๐ Tasting Notes
Inviting aromas of vanilla cream and sweet honey mingle with fresh orchard fruitsโparticularly green apple and ripe bananaโalongside soft malt biscuits. A gentle spiciness emerges with hints of cinnamon and light oak providing subtle backbone.
Creamy and smooth with pronounced vanilla sweetness joined by honeyed malt, orange zest, and ripe stone fruit flavors. Medium-bodied with a silky texture, displaying gentle warming spices, toasted oak, and a touch of caramel that makes it exceptionally approachable.
Medium finish with vanilla custard sweetness, a gentle spicy tingle, and malty notes that gradually fade with subtle oak warmth.
๐ฅ How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2โ3 minutes before nosing โ this unlocks the full aromatic profile.
A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.
Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.
